One of the main difficulties in the geotechnical design process lies in dealing with uncertainty.Uncertainty is associated with natural variation of properties,
The aim of this study is to identify the influence of the dip angle of a pre-existing macrocrack on the lifetime and ultimate deformation of rock-like material.
Overhanging rock slopes (steeper than 90°) are typically avoided in rock engineering design,particularly where the scale of the slope exceeds the scale of frac
Increased knowledge of the elastic and geomechnical properties of rocks is important for numerous engineering and geoscience applications (e.g.petroleum geoscie
This paper aims to study the effect of anisotropy on strengths of several metamorphic rocks of south ((C)ine) submassif of Menderes metamorphic massif in southw
